Guns on Campus

Published August 2nd, 2007

In the U.S. guns are used 2.5 million times a year in self-defense, that's almost 7,000 times a day.

The University of Florida's student handbook states that no student is allowed to carry firearms on school grounds. But the 160 member Libertarian Activist Network at UF says they should be and plan to take it all the way to the Florida Legislature.

"I actually feel safer with them," says Neal Conner, President of The Libertarian Activist Network. "Individuals have to be responsible for their own safety, the police as much as they can do isn't going to be around 24/7."

The Libertarian Activist Network plans on finding a Florida Legislator who supports passing such a bill as allowing guns on campus.
